We’ll answer the title with another question: Did you know that the annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place on Saturday? With a few days to go, the lack of confirmed participants has us scratching our heads a little. rolling stone was the first to confirm that Oasis would not be in attendance, with Liam Gallagher tweeting that traveling to Los Angeles is “too far to go for the night, I have shit to do, it’s Christmas”. (He added that he prefers to “stack the dishwasher” and is “afraid of air conditioning,” to which we suggest a treatment plan of listening to “Desperados Under the Eaves” on repeat.) Noel Gallagher went so far as to book his first solo concert since the Oasis reunion for the same night as the Rock Hall ceremony, on November 14, at a jazz festival in London. Iron Maiden will also not be present at the ceremony, as they are currently touring Australia. Peter Hook will likely be the only member of New Order in attendance, as Gillian Gilbert and Stephen Morris, who are married, will remain in England while Gilbert continues his cancer treatment, and Bernard Sumner has yet to comment on the honor. As for Sade…we’d like to say she’s looking out at an infinity pool, wearing a silk pashmina and gold hoop earrings, and minding her own business? (We really don’t know; she hasn’t appeared in public in years.) To further add to the confusion: the Rock Hall usually releases a list of performers in the weeks leading up to the ceremony, but has yet to do so for the Class of 2026. If this is all just a plan to get me to perform “Two Hearts” on behalf of Phil Collins, yes, I’m on board.
